Chapter 51 Origin of Ancient Tree
With the old and hoarse sound falling, Yue Zun felt that the whole tree shook more violently, and the branches and leaves rubbed, emitting bursts of sand, and the movement was like a strong wind blowing through the woods.
I can't help but deeply admire my foresight. If it hadn't been for holding a branch tightly before I lost my ability to move, I would have fallen down the tree and have the same fate as those unlucky monkeys?
It's just that who is talking? And it can make such a big tree react. Is it possible that the owner of that sound is this big tree?
"Huh? You seem to have been poisoned, resulting in a loss of mobility. So that's it. In this case, I won't pursue it. Probably because the giant tree was so moving, Yue Zun did not react at all. Finally, the owner of the voice saw that something was wrong. Although it was hindsight, it was better than unconsciousness.
Hearing the old and hoarse voice, Yue Zun's hanging heart was relieved. Should it be safe for the time being?
While Yue Zun was guessing what would happen next, he found that the green leaves around him had undergone magical changes.
A faint green light shines between the leaves. The veins of the leaves became clearer, and there seemed to be ** flowing through them. After a while, these magical fluids gathered on the tip of the tail of the leaves, making them shine and overflowing with the breath of life.
Then, countless leaves broke away from the branches and floated to Yue Zun, who could not move. It's just that the next thing makes him even more creepy...
All the leaves floated around him, slowly moving around him. Of course, if that's the case, it won't scare him. It's just that what happens next is a little strange.
Suddenly, one of the leaves broke away from the group and began to accelerate suddenly. The tip of the tail was shooting at Yue Zun's eyebrows. Everyone will have a strange feeling when they know that there is an object pressing towards the eyebrows. It is said that this is related to the degenerate pineal body in the human body, and Yue Zun is no exception.
In the face of this situation, even if you know that it is just a leaf that pierces you, it should not cause any serious harm. However, under the conditioned reflex, my heart still thumped and I was shocked. Then, the leaf pierced Yue Zun's forehead.
It's just that Yue Zun's body is still completely paralyzed and can't feel anything. Although, it suffered a certain psychological impact.
After the first leaf pierced Yue Zun's forehead, the countless remaining leaves seemed to come back to life at that moment, scrambling to shoot at Yue Zun. After a while, Yue Zun's body was full of green leaves...
"Kid, since you didn't mean to be rude to me, and you have the ability to help me out of trouble, I will help you heal and detoxify your wounds, which is a favor for you. Now you are clear." The old and hoarse voice sounded in my ears again.
After listening to the content of the voice, Yue Zun realized that the change just now should be beneficial to him, so he was calm and waited for the subsequent changes.
After a moment, the leaves that pierced Yue Zun's body gradually became yellow. Only because of its original vitality, it has spread to Yue Zun's body through the tip of the tail.
When a leaf loses all its vitality, it becomes dry and yellow like fallen leaves in late autumn, falling off Yue Zun's body and falling down.
As more and more leaves are injected with vitality, Yue Zun gradually feels that his body consciousness is gradually recovering. At the same time, I felt that my whole body was itchy, as if ten thousand ants were gnawing, I almost couldn't help reaching out to scratch his skin and bleeding.
"Ah! Itchy to death..." Yue Zun screamed, and then he found that he could already speak loudly.
"For you animals, after serious injury, when the wound heals, you will naturally feel itchy. Before, your previous injury was too serious. If you hadn't met the old man, you wouldn't have lived for a few days. Hearing Yue Zun's scream, the old and hoarse voice explained.
After listening to the explanation of the voice, Yue Zun remembered that when he had been besieged by a group of monkeys for a long time, it was a fluke to keep a small life. His body was indeed seriously injured internally and externally.
It's just because my body was paralyzed at that time and I couldn't feel pain, but my mind was in a state of excitement because of the effect of the anesthetic vapor fog, so I have ignored that I should have been seriously injured and even dying.
Only after being reminded did I know that the reason why the owner of the sound made this big movement and poked himself with countless leaves to help him regain consciousness was the second most important thing to help himself heal himself!
I am grateful to understand this. I found that I could speak again, so I thanked him respectfully: "Thank you for saving my life. I don't know where the senior is? Why do you only hear his voice and not see him?"
"Well... boy, my real body is the big camphor tree you are sitting on. I believe you should have seen it a long time ago. Just asked just to confirm it, right? The old and hoarse voice confirmed what Yue Zun thought. His real body was indeed this big tree, and it was also sure that this big tree was indeed a camphor tree.
After confirming the identity of the big tree, Yue Zun couldn't help but be curious about its identity and origin. The tone respectfully asked the old camphor tree for advice, and the old camphor tree did not hide it and told Yue Zun everything he wanted to know.
The old camphor tree was born in the Tang Dynasty and grew up in the courtyard of a rich family for about 100 years. Somehow, by chance, it enlightened its wisdom and became the spirit of vegetation.
At that time, birds often live on it and accompany it. The old camphor tree loves these lovely little creatures very much and regards them as their best friends and provides them with shelter.
The white horse passed through the gap, and the world changed. In the Yuanhe period of the Tang Dynasty, the courtyard changed owners several times, but at this time, the owner was a monk, and his cultivation had already become extraordinary. He believed that in time, he would rise to immortals.
The monk also knew that the old camphor tree had already enlightened his wisdom and became a tree spirit. However, seeing that it has no harm to the people, it is not like many practitioners at that time. If you see a demon, you will be eliminated, and if you see a ghost, you will be killed. The two have always been at peace.
Until one day, another black cat came to the courtyard. The black cat also has deep roots and has become a demon for many times. However, his nature has not changed, and he often peeked at the birds regarded as their friends by the old camphor tree. Several times they wanted to feed on birds, but they were blocked by the old camphor tree.
The clay figurine still has three points of anger, not to mention the old camphor tree that has just become refined. Seeing that the black cat bullied too much, he fought with him in anger. Unexpectedly, when the two fought, the old camphor tree failed and accidentally injured several lives.
At this time, the monk arrived and subdued the tree spirit and the cat demon with his ability. Because the old camphor tree hurts people's lives, it cannot reflect the justice of heaven without punishment. He also thought that there is a good virtue in heaven, and the tree spirit hurts people because it is unintentional.
Finally, the monk decided to transplant the real body of the old camphor tree here and seal its cultivation. If this is the only way, it will not trap the old camphor tree for thousands of years, because as long as the old camphor tree takes root in the earth, it can absorb the spirit of the earth. In less than ten years, it can break through the seal and restore its original cultivation.
The monk also knew this well. He somehow caught tens of thousands of monkey spirits that often disturbed the people and let them be trapped in this cave with the old camphor tree. Although these monkey spirits have become spirits, they are not very capable and have no water resistance, and cannot escape from the dark river.
After being trapped in the cave, the monkey spirits had nothing to eat, so they had to rely on the old camphor tree according to the method taught by the monk, and always absorb its essence of life as a livelihood.
Because of this, every time the old camphor tree absorbs a little earth spirit and turns the earth spirit into the essence of life, its own essence of life is absorbed by the monkey essence, which has been unable to recover for thousands of years.
Because of the large number of monkey spirits, the essence of life provided by the old camphor tree is limited. Most of the time, they have to hang upside down on the tree and go into a dormant state. Only at regular intervals they wake up to eat to maintain their lives and do small activities for a while.
Because of the uniform distribution, these monkey essences have grown almost the same over the years. Because of the limited food, they all became thin and looked like malnutrition. Moreover, they have been sucking plant essences for food for thousands of years, and their blood has gradually become a strange light green.
After learning about the life and origin of the old camphor tree, Yue Zun deeply sympathized and comforted him. Unexpectedly, the old camphor tree is very open-minded, saying that now that the monkey spirits have been destroyed by Yue Zun's plan, and he can only stay here for more than ten years, he can absorb enough spirit, break through the seal and restore his cultivation, so that he doesn't have to worry about himself.
After that, Yue Zun thought that when the old camphor tree is very old and refined, his experience must be rich. Presumably, if he can ask him for advice, he may be able to answer one or two questions. So I asked the old camphor tree to know the information about the "war spirit".
I don't want the old camphor tree to know nothing about it. It is said that there should be no "war spirit" in the world before it is trapped. At that time, it was popular to cultivate immortals. Generally, spiritual bodies were shallow-footed and there was no hope to seek the road.
In desperation, Yue Zun retreated and asked the old camphor tree about the identity of the meat blanket monster and the big turtle he had encountered since he entered the mountain. Lao Zhangshu said that when he was trapped here, those things did not exist, and he did not know their origin. However, after listening to Yue Zun's description, he should be able to guess their identity.
That meat blanket monster should be the legendary "Taisui". Like himself, he belongs to the essence of vegetation. Among the essence of vegetation, there are also many people who like to suck the essence and blood of living things to increase their cultivation. The "Tai Sui" Yue Zun met must be the same.
As for those turtles that look like hegemony, they should have a little blood of the dragon clan. Dragons are good**, and it is not surprising that future generations will have turtles. However, this bloodline must be very thin. From those turtles, which are only countless times more fierce than ordinary turtles, but there is no power to see this.
And in the belly of the mountain, the purple moss all over the cave wall is also known, and the old camphor tree is also known. This kind of moss has no name. In ancient times, practitioners often used it to decorate the cave. It is said that Jiwei elixir is also used as a raw material. Although this vapor fog released by moss has the side effects of paralysing the human body, it is very beneficial to promote the spiritual power of organisms and improve the five senses of organisms. In contrast, that side effect is a trivial part. However, if handled properly, this anesthetic effect can also turn disadvantages into advantages. It is said that the "Boiling powder" prescription used by Hua Tuo in those years contains the vapor mist released by this moss.
